WEBVTT - I'll Help Ya File The Lawsuit

0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center.

0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:11.719
<v Speaker 2>Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, arm Strong and Getty, and

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 2>he Armstrong and Getty. Here's the pitch.

0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 3>Swinging a fly ball to right field, pretty well hit

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 3>freelick back at the wall, he jumps.

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 2>It's gone hate hate.

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.200
<v Speaker 1>That peyt Alonzo with the most.

0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:38.519
<v Speaker 2>Favorable home run of his career. Pups as fast as

0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:41.680
<v Speaker 2>he round second. He's a three run homer. He's given

0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:43.160
<v Speaker 2>the Mets a three to two lead.

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.159
<v Speaker 4>They all pour out of the dugout.

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:49.760
<v Speaker 3>So the Mets took out the Brewers and go into

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:53.240
<v Speaker 3>the next round of the playoffs. Mets Phillies and is

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 3>a West Coast guy. That's going to be a highly

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 3>annoying series. In the amount of coverridge. It's going to

0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 3>get in the in the news if it's the only

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:01.800
<v Speaker 3>baseball teams that matter.

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.559
<v Speaker 5>So when that home run was hit, the Mets were

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:07.199
<v Speaker 5>trailing by two.

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:08.960
<v Speaker 2>I believe in the ninth inning.

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:11.920
<v Speaker 5>Down to their last out or close to it anyway,

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.480
<v Speaker 5>I haven't checked, but yeah, dramatic home run by the

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 5>polar Bear, the hero Pete Alonzo.

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 3>All I know is if you got New York play

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 3>in Philadelphia. I already saw it this morning on the

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 3>cable news. It's going to be if you're a baseball

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 3>fan of any other team, it's I wanted to mention this.

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 5>Only slightly less annoying than New York Boston, but almost.

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to mention this.

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:40.640
<v Speaker 3>It turns out that sometimes cops beat a guide to

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 3>death just because it's something cops do, and it ain't

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 3>because white people are out hunting black people.

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 6>Right.

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 3>I had forgotten until I saw the picture because they

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 3>didn't mention it. If I hadn't been looking at the TV,

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't have known it that there's three black police

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 3>officers that beat that poor guy.

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 2>To death and got convicted yesterday.

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 5>Horrifying, horrifying, But it's it's not politically useful to tear

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 5>down civilization, so it's not getting much attention.

0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Can it be a racial thing? Obviously?

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 3>But is it automatically obviously a racial thing if the

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:19.360
<v Speaker 3>cop is white and the guy is black who dies

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 3>or gets abused?

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Uh? No, obviously not no. And if you're a libertarian thing,

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:26.080
<v Speaker 2>sad case.

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 3>If you're a libertarian, it ain't good news either that

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 3>everyoneants to walk cops because I got such an attitude

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.080
<v Speaker 3>about things, or willing to beat somebody to death because

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.560
<v Speaker 3>they're just sick of dealing with crime or whatever happens.

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:41.360
<v Speaker 3>But anyway, Yeah, if this had been white cops, obviously

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 3>it would be an endless, endless story. Could have been

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 3>exactly the same circumstances with the exact same motive in

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 3>their mind that made them do something awful. But it

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 3>would be the president to be talking about it. Kamala

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:57.839
<v Speaker 3>Harrison'd be talking about it anyway, just because to Shell, yeah,

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 3>I think you hear what we're laying down. You're picking

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:02.800
<v Speaker 3>up on what we're putting down.

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 5>So Jack and I were talking about what we were going

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.239
<v Speaker 5>to talk about this segment. It wasn't that, it was

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 5>what's to follow, and we realized, hey, come on, now,

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 5>it's a California's crumbling. You want to start with Adam

0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.640
<v Speaker 5>Yamagucci on CBS Evening News last night.

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Sure, this is a good one.

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 4>Forty five thousand people experiencing homelessness in the city of

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 4>Los Angeles. Nearly half of all Americans living on the

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 4>streets are here in California. Whether it was roughly one

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 4>shelter bed for every three people who needed one last year.

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 4>Karen Bass, mayor of Los Angeles.

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 2>You don't solve anything by clearing an encampment and just

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 2>moving them to the next street. I remember when yeah

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 2>you do.

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you make that street or that park or that

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 5>schoolyard or whatever inhabitable by the tax paying citizens.

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 2>You have absolutely accomplished something.

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 3>Well. First of all, I remember when it first started

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 3>saying half all the homeless people in California. We got

0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 3>a fair amount of pushback, at least on the text

0:03:58.520 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 3>line that can't be true.

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 2>It's not true. Look at these statistics.

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 3>Now mainstream media is caught up to the fact that

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 3>it's just a fact half the homeless people in America

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 3>are in one state, California, because of policy, and it

0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 3>didn't used to be that way.

0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 2>What changed?

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 3>And don't give me the rents high that's why people

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.760
<v Speaker 3>are living under bridges and doing meth because that's a

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:18.600
<v Speaker 3>stupid way to look at it.

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, here's the headline for you. Out of Beautiful LA.

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:26.839
<v Speaker 5>After spending five hundred and fifty million dollars, over seventy

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 5>percent of La County's Project Home Key homeless rooms are vacant.

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 5>They are vacant, They're not being used when it comes

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.159
<v Speaker 5>to getting people actually housed. They spend the money, but

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 5>they don't care about the people. That's because the point

0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:41.560
<v Speaker 5>is the money.

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:43.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, for some people it's a money grab it

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.039
<v Speaker 3>say it's to the homeless industrial complex. But for the

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 3>because I know people like this who feel this way,

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:53.600
<v Speaker 3>why are you unwilling to accept that there is a

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 3>certain part of human nature. There are enough people that

0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 3>given the opportunity to just be high and drunk and

0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 3>live on the street, are willing to do it. Why

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 3>do you think some societal cause had to make them

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 3>do that? And you can't accept that there's certain chunk

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 3>of people that want to live that way. I don't

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:16.479
<v Speaker 3>understand why that damages your psyche to accept that that

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 3>they seemed to need in the past because they couldn't, right,

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.119
<v Speaker 3>because you'd starve to death or freeze to death.

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.480
<v Speaker 2>You can't now because there's so many handouts.

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.520
<v Speaker 5>Are we talking about the actually mentally ill, physically handicapped,

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.080
<v Speaker 5>those who have had one medical build that wrecked them

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:33.600
<v Speaker 5>that sort of thing.

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 2>No, of course, not, absolutely not.

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 5>You've got to separate those different sorts of people out

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.039
<v Speaker 5>to solve the problem instead of making it worse and

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 5>worse and worse. Gavin Newsom presiding over California, which is crumbling. Michael,

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.560
<v Speaker 5>I got a cup your guitar. I should tell this

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 5>story before we move on to another version.

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 3>I was. I'll be vague about this, but I was

0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 3>around a woman the other day who was telling the

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.719
<v Speaker 3>story of how she was.

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Running the streets for a while.

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.719
<v Speaker 3>And her thing was she'd hook up with a different

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 3>homeless guy because she was homeless guy. She was a

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.920
<v Speaker 3>homeless girl. She couldn't have been very old, because you're

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 3>not very old now, but she was running the streets.

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.159
<v Speaker 3>She'd hook up with different homeless guys to get booze

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.280
<v Speaker 3>and drugs because they were they would supply it for her,

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:22.919
<v Speaker 3>and she got beat up constantly, raped constantly, but for

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:24.719
<v Speaker 3>the booze and drugs they would and they would just

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 3>panhandle in the morning until they got enough money and

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:30.720
<v Speaker 3>then be drunk or high all day long. Why would

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 3>you ever hand money to these people who are living

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.280
<v Speaker 3>this lifestyle? But so many of you do. I see

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:37.839
<v Speaker 3>it practically every day.

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:40.919
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I have to see a piece about a county

0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.240
<v Speaker 5>in Colorado. I don't remember the name of it, but

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:49.280
<v Speaker 5>they launched one of those handouts don't help campaigns and

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.839
<v Speaker 5>have completely reduced the number of panhandlers and beggars on

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 5>the streets. They got the word out. Look, these people

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 5>are junkies. They want drug money. That's what they're doing. Anyway,

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.279
<v Speaker 5>California is crumbling. A couple of headlines worth take a

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 5>quick gander at Gavin Newsom's maximum deception on California's minimum wage.

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 5>These stats are out there, are undeniable. He's trying like

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 5>crazy to spin them by manipulating the statistics. But California

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 5>is down a net fifty four hundred fast food jobs

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 5>this year. President, employees are working fewer hours, Automation is growing.

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 5>It has done terrible damage to people who made money

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:32.600
<v Speaker 5>doing that. Now I'm intentionally not using the term made

0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 5>a living doing that because starter jobs have never been

0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 5>intended to support a family or make quote unquote a living.

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.440
<v Speaker 2>And the idea that.

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.080
<v Speaker 5>You need a living wage that a father of three

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 5>can flip burgers and support his kids since when should.

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Have made it clear or maybe it's obvious that if

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 3>you don't live in californ you one of the reasons

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.280
<v Speaker 3>you should pay attention to this is one lots of

0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 3>policies at start in California, go to your state. And

0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.760
<v Speaker 3>two the current person tied to be president of the

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 3>United States is from California, Senator from California, then vice

0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.880
<v Speaker 3>president and claims this is a model for the country.

0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't think Trump and Vance have done a good

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 3>enough job of tying California to Kamala Harris.

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 5>And let me do a little political math for you.

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 5>So you have Gavin who's a very bright guy. I mean,

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 5>he understands what's happening here. It can't possibly have escaped

0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 5>him because it's so obvious. But he will lie to

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:42.560
<v Speaker 5>the very people he's claiming to help, even though it

0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 5>damages them, and he knows it will damage them because

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:51.200
<v Speaker 5>he can stay in power and continue the two way

0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:55.080
<v Speaker 5>hoes of money back and forth with the public employee unions.

0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 5>So he is damaging the very people he claims to

0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:00.679
<v Speaker 5>help to get elected over and over again.

0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.200
<v Speaker 2>And it's evil. It's absolutely evil.

0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 5>The most needy among us are the victims of his policies,

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 5>speaking of which is incredible lack of wisdom. God, there's

0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:14.079
<v Speaker 5>a picture of him. He just makes my skin crawl. Uugh,

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:20.240
<v Speaker 5>I predicted this drill, baby drill in his hair. Partly

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.680
<v Speaker 5>I predicted it, and I'm bringing this up to pat

0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:25.599
<v Speaker 5>myself on the back, but also because I just love it.

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Love it, love it, love it, love it.

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 5>It took like two days for a federal judge to

0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:32.960
<v Speaker 5>block that new California law restricting the use of deep

0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:38.720
<v Speaker 5>fakes and deceptive humor or whatever the law said in California.

0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 5>Newsom said, the other day, I just signed a bill

0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.400
<v Speaker 5>to make this illegal in the state of California. You

0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 5>can no longer knowingly distribute an ad or other election

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:52.119
<v Speaker 5>communications that contains materially deceptive content, including deep fakes. Immediately

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 5>labeled the anti parody law.

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 3>If that law was going to stand, would you apply

0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 3>it to ads for props in the state of CALIFORNI

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.160
<v Speaker 3>you are, which are incredibly deceptive?

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the ballot propositions. Yeah, indeed. So I love this

0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:11.720
<v Speaker 5>from our friend Katie Grimes. Screw the first amendment, Newsom said,

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.839
<v Speaker 5>as he signed Assemblyville twenty six fifty five. Blah blah blah.

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 5>Not really, but he was probably thinking it. Am I

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.800
<v Speaker 5>going to be arrested for making a joke about Newsom?

0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 5>She asks, So there's immediately a lawsuit filed by the

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:28.199
<v Speaker 5>Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute on behalf of Christopher Coles, known

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 5>as mister Reagan, the creator of fabulous satirical political videos,

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:36.320
<v Speaker 5>and the judge essentially said, are you kidding me with

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:36.960
<v Speaker 5>this crap?

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.439
<v Speaker 2>No, that's a brief summary of the.

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 5>Decision, but yeah, as predicted, please, I can't you know what?

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.240
<v Speaker 5>I wish I had the wording of the law in

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.320
<v Speaker 5>front of me. I probably do. It's a bit of

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 5>a long piece here, because the law talks about deceptive

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:06.439
<v Speaker 5>content that could mislead voters or help or hurt someone's

0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:12.080
<v Speaker 5>electoral prospects, so it clearly clearly covers humor.

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:14.200
<v Speaker 2>That's the point of political humor.

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.480
<v Speaker 5>So anyway, it was gratifying to see that he was

0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:20.520
<v Speaker 5>spanked and sent home to Mama immediately by the first

0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 5>federal judged.

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Even glance at the law unbelievable.

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.679
<v Speaker 5>Well, thanks to judges, California is crumbling less than it

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:30.120
<v Speaker 5>would have been without them.

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:34.560
<v Speaker 3>It's insane that half the homeless people in the entire

0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:38.320
<v Speaker 3>United States, a country of three hundred and thirty million people,

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:43.080
<v Speaker 3>half the homeless people are in one state. We didn't

0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 3>think that would be possible.

0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.319
<v Speaker 5>And as the show's been based out of caln Unicornea

0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:52.560
<v Speaker 5>since the nineties, we have been stating quite plainly that

0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 5>people flock to whatever precinct or state has the most

0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 5>attractive services for them. And man, we used to get

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 5>hammered for that. The activists would say, that's a lie,

0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:06.640
<v Speaker 5>that's a lie. Nobody does that. But now it's so obvious.

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:08.640
<v Speaker 5>There are people who are on TV all the time

0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:11.160
<v Speaker 5>doing interviews. Yeah, I came from Nevada because I heard

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 5>it's a lot better in California, or maybe they were

0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 5>in a red part of California. They say, yeah, I

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.000
<v Speaker 5>came to Santa Cruz because it's so great to lay

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 5>around to do drugs.

0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, if you drive around many of the big cities

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.560
<v Speaker 3>of California, it looks like half the homeless people in

0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:24.199
<v Speaker 3>America here.

0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:28.280

<v Speaker 3>So this happened yesterday in California, Garth Brooks accused of

0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.840
<v Speaker 3>rape sexual assault in lawsuit filed by his hair and

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 3>makeup artist, a woman just being called Jane Rowe states

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:58.000
<v Speaker 3>that the multiple Grammy award winning gazillionaire allegedly raped Turn

0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.720
<v Speaker 3>a hotel room during a work trip where she felt

0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 3>trapped and alone with Brooks. In addition to sexual assault

0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.520
<v Speaker 3>and battery, Brooks, who's now sixty two, but this happened

0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:09.280
<v Speaker 3>back when he was fifty nine, I guess, is also

0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.280
<v Speaker 3>accused of repeatedly exposing his genitals and buttocks.

0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Hey take a look at.

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:17.439
<v Speaker 3>This, Huh talking about owner? Uh does he suppose he

0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:17.800
<v Speaker 3>has his.

0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Cowboy head on? I'm not picturing him with his cowboy

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:20.600
<v Speaker 2>head on.

0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:26.160
<v Speaker 3>Talking about sex and sharing sexual fantasies with Roe, regularly

0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:28.680
<v Speaker 3>changing his clothing in front of her and centering her

0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:32.160
<v Speaker 3>sexually explicit text message you better have those if you're

0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.720
<v Speaker 3>claiming that. According to the complaint in the case, the

0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:40.240
<v Speaker 3>suit alleges these incidents happened in twenty nineteen. As I said, so, uh,

0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 3>you know this has happened with people before that. I

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 3>would have never guessed would do that sort of thing,

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:48.720
<v Speaker 3>And it turned out it really looked like they did

0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 3>do that sort of thing. Oh with Garth Brooks, though,

0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:56.400
<v Speaker 3>I just his He's been around for so long and

0:14:56.480 --> 0:15:01.600
<v Speaker 3>so high profile and so wealthy, and and just can't

0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:04.200
<v Speaker 3>I can't imagine that at fifty nine he decided to

0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 3>start acting like this just seems unlikely.

0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Here is his statement.

0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 5>He says, quote, for the last two months, I have

0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:15.080
<v Speaker 5>been hassled to no end with threats, lies, and tragic

0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.440
<v Speaker 5>tales of what my future would be if I did

0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:20.240
<v Speaker 5>not write a check for many millions of dollars. It's

0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.560
<v Speaker 5>been like having a loaded gun waved in my face.

0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 5>Hush money. No matter how much or how little, is

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.000
<v Speaker 5>still hush money in my mind. That means I am

0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:30.640
<v Speaker 5>admitting to behavior I am incapable of ugly acts no

0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:35.280
<v Speaker 5>human should ever do to another. And Brooks says, filed

0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.680
<v Speaker 5>the lawsuit accusing the woman with whom he had previously

0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 5>worked of attempting to defame and extort him, and alleges,

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.600
<v Speaker 5>as he said in a statement, that she has repeatedly

0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.360
<v Speaker 5>threatened to file a lawsuit accusing him of terrible things

0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:48.960
<v Speaker 5>if he didn't pay millions dollars.

0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 3>If you were in this situation and innocent as you

0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 3>obviously would be and innocent. Would you and your lawyer said, look,

0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:02.360
<v Speaker 3>she's saying X number of dollars and it goes away.

0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.040
<v Speaker 3>Would you pay it or would you? Did you fight it?

0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 3>Just on principle, I think you have to fight it.

0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 3>I think you have to too, But I can see

0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:15.200
<v Speaker 3>how a lawyer would convince you. Look, you fight it,

0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:17.760
<v Speaker 3>and it all comes out, and a certain percentage of

0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:19.800
<v Speaker 3>people are gonna believe you did it no matter what.

0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:26.200
<v Speaker 2>And it's my cause this much more money my counter argument.

0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.960
<v Speaker 3>And I only can you know offer this through years

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 3>of experience in observing this sort of thing.

0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.640
<v Speaker 5>The lawyer said would say, this will put it behind you,

0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:37.080
<v Speaker 5>and I would say, no, it probably.

0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.280
<v Speaker 2>Won't, right, Yeah, it won't firm that life.

0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 3>God, there's somebody I don't remember who, a high profile

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:43.760
<v Speaker 3>person who listened to their lawyer in one of these

0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:48.000
<v Speaker 3>types of stories and wishes they hadn't. The lawyer doesn't

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.360
<v Speaker 3>necessarily have your best interest at heart. They just they

0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:52.360
<v Speaker 3>just look at the law on dollars and cents. Lawyers

0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:54.720
<v Speaker 3>are weird the way they look at the world. They have,

0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:56.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, I guess it helps them do their job,

0:16:56.640 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 3>but they have no ability to understand like culture or

0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:03.840
<v Speaker 3>meaning or anything like that.

0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Only law, money, law money, or.

0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:12.240
<v Speaker 5>Just the idea of you will make a tacit confession

0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:16.959
<v Speaker 5>to doing something you find abhorrent and sickening, and we'll

0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:20.680
<v Speaker 5>take care of this for you. And I think it's

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:25.520
<v Speaker 5>difficult to for some attorneys anyway to understand.

0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:27.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't care what it costs me.

0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.800
<v Speaker 5>What I hope I am going to make clear what

0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:32.520
<v Speaker 5>kind of person I am and what kind I'm not.

0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:37.000
<v Speaker 3>What I hope didn't happen, which could come out, is

0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:40.119
<v Speaker 3>if you had consensual sex, like you had an affair going,

0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.159
<v Speaker 3>and then they turn out to be the sort of

0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.720
<v Speaker 3>person that claims, you know, like what happened with Kobe Bryant,

0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:47.679
<v Speaker 3>who I think thought he was having consensual sex with

0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:49.639
<v Speaker 3>somebody who wanted to have sex with an NBA player,

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:52.359
<v Speaker 3>but then claims rape and then you got then you

0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.480
<v Speaker 3>got a big problem. Or Major league pitcher Trevor bowo

0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:57.800
<v Speaker 3>oh y has just been living a nightmare because of

0:17:57.800 --> 0:17:59.919
<v Speaker 3>a predator predatory one.

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:02.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it happens. Oh god, dang it.

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:06.840
<v Speaker 3>What a horrible situation speaking predatory that whole dock workers strike.

0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.160
<v Speaker 3>Some really great perspective on how much sympathy we ought

0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:12.360
<v Speaker 3>to have for those poor workers who are going back

0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:14.479
<v Speaker 3>to work. Armstrong and Geeddy.

0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:19.200
<v Speaker 6>McDonald's announced today it will begin offering the chicken Big Mac.

0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:21.800
<v Speaker 3>It's like the original Big Mac and contains roughly the

0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:22.840
<v Speaker 3>same amount of beef.

0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Wow, it is an interesting thing, inappropriate.

0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:33.400
<v Speaker 3>I like a big Mac, but it doesn't taste anything

0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:36.639
<v Speaker 3>like a hamburger. Like if you weren't told it was

0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:39.000
<v Speaker 3>a hamburger going in, and so they had you take

0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:41.000
<v Speaker 3>a bite of it and you said, what what? What

0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:44.600
<v Speaker 3>arena of food is this in? I don't know what

0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:47.160
<v Speaker 3>you'd guess. I wouldn't guess hamburger, Katie.

0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:49.120
<v Speaker 6>I'm a huge fan of this idea because I used

0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:51.040
<v Speaker 6>to order the mcchickens with Big Mac sauce.

0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:54.359
<v Speaker 2>And it's a game changer. Oh really? Oh yeah, wait

0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:57.280
<v Speaker 2>a moment. Wow, so you you'd hit the mcdee's with

0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:58.320
<v Speaker 2>a special order.

0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:04.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Uh was this formerly big Katie Green? Oh yeah, okay,

0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:08.680
<v Speaker 3>I could slam some mcchickens. You know, do you only

0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:11.480
<v Speaker 3>know you as thin hot Katie? So sorry I shouldn't

0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:14.160
<v Speaker 3>say that. I'm hr Oh, I appreciate it. I'll help

0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:17.400
<v Speaker 3>you file the lawsuit but uh, I'm practically Garth Brooks.

0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I was just gonna say out Garth. Oh no, no, no,

0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:22.879
<v Speaker 5>that's no no, I will not join in that. So

0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:23.760
<v Speaker 5>that is not funny.

0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:26.800
<v Speaker 3>But so back in the day you would eat, you

0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:28.800
<v Speaker 3>would eat like that. Oh yeah, I used to love

0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:32.760
<v Speaker 3>fast food. Did you know somebody at the McDonald's or

0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.600
<v Speaker 3>did you just because I've never liked made a special

0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:36.960
<v Speaker 3>order a McDonald's in my life.

0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:37.320
<v Speaker 1>No.

0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:39.560
<v Speaker 6>I just really enjoyed Big Max, and I really enjoyed

0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:41.720
<v Speaker 6>mcchickens and thought the saw, hey this, this would be

0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:44.160
<v Speaker 6>a good combo ahead of the times.

0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:46.880
<v Speaker 3>I really like the flurry in the fries. Is there

0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:48.720
<v Speaker 3>a way you could put that in a bowl or something?

0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.080
<v Speaker 5>They probably should have They should have hired you and

0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:55.159
<v Speaker 5>their their products innovation department or whatever. R and D

0:19:55.800 --> 0:20:01.120
<v Speaker 5>clearly clearly well, speaking of big business, this guy won.

0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Now I have the president screaming at me. I'm putting

0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:09.160
<v Speaker 1>a TAF holly on you go ahead. Taf holly means

0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:11.080
<v Speaker 1>I have to go back to work for ninety days

0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:14.320
<v Speaker 1>after cool you off period. Do you think when I

0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:15.920
<v Speaker 1>go back for ninety days those men are going to

0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:18.160
<v Speaker 1>go to work on that pid it's going to cost

0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:19.760
<v Speaker 1>the money, the company's money.

0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:20.520
<v Speaker 2>To pay the salaries.

0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, go one from thirty moves an now and maybe

0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:27.479
<v Speaker 1>the eight they're gonna be like this, who's gonna win

0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:30.399
<v Speaker 1>here in the long run, You're better off sitting down

0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:32.360
<v Speaker 1>and let's get a contract and.

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:34.879
<v Speaker 2>Let's move on with this world. And could today's world.

0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:38.840
<v Speaker 2>I'll cripple you. I will cripple you. And you have

0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:40.800
<v Speaker 2>no idea what that means.

0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:45.920
<v Speaker 3>That's amazing that you would say that out loud and win,

0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:46.880
<v Speaker 3>by the way.

0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.560
<v Speaker 2>But you would say that out loud, that oh, we're.

0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:52.199
<v Speaker 3>Gonna, we're gonna we'll we'll slow walk our job and

0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:54.520
<v Speaker 3>will pretend we're hurt. That's that will be like this,

0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:57.240
<v Speaker 3>he grabs his neck like faking injury, and.

0:20:57.200 --> 0:21:00.879
<v Speaker 2>We'll cripple you. You have no power over. He's saying

0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:04.000
<v Speaker 2>to the world, to the president, to the country, we.

0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:05.720
<v Speaker 3>Can do whatever he want. I got a million dollars.

0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:08.439
<v Speaker 3>I make a million dollars a year on the books.

0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:11.080
<v Speaker 3>As Joe pointed out yesterday, who knows how much off

0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:11.560
<v Speaker 3>the books.

0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:14.120
<v Speaker 2>I got a big yacht. I'd drive a Bentley. I'll

0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:16.320
<v Speaker 2>do whatever that f I want, you get it.

0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:21.800
<v Speaker 5>I will christ I heard an authority on labor law

0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:24.679
<v Speaker 5>and history talking the other day about how reminiscent this

0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:29.120
<v Speaker 5>is of the teamsters prior to the deregulation, and I.

0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Think was the eighties early eighties. Don't quote me on that, but.

0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:38.800
<v Speaker 5>The trucking industry was so tightly controlled by the unions

0:21:39.000 --> 0:21:43.159
<v Speaker 5>and the laws were shaped by union serving politicians. So

0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:46.160
<v Speaker 5>you couldn't start a trucking company. Yeah, you couldn't start

0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:47.639
<v Speaker 5>an independent trunking company.

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:50.040
<v Speaker 3>Certainly it was up until about nineteen eighty because I

0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:52.679
<v Speaker 3>was a teamster in eighty eight. I was a teamster

0:21:52.760 --> 0:21:55.320
<v Speaker 3>for a couple of years, but those days were passed.

0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:58.280
<v Speaker 3>But still it was. The perks were unbelievable. I mean,

0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:01.760
<v Speaker 3>the insurance I had as a teamster was ridiculous. I

0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:04.760
<v Speaker 3>was loading boxes. I mean, you're the lowest monkey job

0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:06.879
<v Speaker 3>that can be. I was in the back of a

0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:09.800
<v Speaker 3>freak car, a trained freight car, loading boxes in the

0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:13.040
<v Speaker 3>middle of the night. But I had one hundred percent dental,

0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:15.680
<v Speaker 3>no deductible starting day one.

0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:17.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was just amazing.

0:22:18.000 --> 0:22:19.920
<v Speaker 5>Wow, it's too bad you've got good teeth. I mean,

0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:21.240
<v Speaker 5>you really could have taken advantage.

0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:22.919
<v Speaker 2>I was young and healthy, and I didn't take advantage

0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:24.880
<v Speaker 2>of any of that stuff. Yeah, that's terrible anyway.

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:28.879
<v Speaker 5>So with that much money and power flowing through the

0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:32.399
<v Speaker 5>trucking industry back in the day, it attracted organized crime

0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:35.320
<v Speaker 5>because there was so much money flowing there, and so

0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:38.679
<v Speaker 5>the teamsters was completely mobbed with the trucking industry in

0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:41.600
<v Speaker 5>general was completely mobbed up during that period, and everybody

0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:44.040
<v Speaker 5>knows it. Asked Jimmy Hoff if you can find his bones.

0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:48.880
<v Speaker 5>But anyway, this Long Sherman's Union fight bones is very

0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:53.200
<v Speaker 5>much the same. All of this commerce is flowing through

0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:55.919
<v Speaker 5>on the East Coast at least it's like fifty thousand people,

0:22:56.520 --> 0:22:59.200
<v Speaker 5>and the West coast has a different union. But anyway,

0:22:59.359 --> 0:23:02.440
<v Speaker 5>a couple of respectives I thought were just terrific. Rich

0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:06.439
<v Speaker 5>Lowry in the National Review, it's the processing gate that

0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:10.080
<v Speaker 5>shook the US economy. Eight PM terminals in the Portomobile

0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:13.080
<v Speaker 5>Alabama use a semi automated gate to process trucks without

0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:15.800
<v Speaker 5>union labor. And this supposed outrage is one of the

0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:19.440
<v Speaker 5>reasons the International Longshoreman's Association went on strike. Never mind

0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:21.280
<v Speaker 5>that the gate has been in operation for years and

0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:24.280
<v Speaker 5>is more efficient and safer to checking admit trucks than

0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:28.000
<v Speaker 5>a human. The strike is a war on automation as

0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:29.720
<v Speaker 5>much as a push for higher wages.

0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:33.280
<v Speaker 3>That is what the media missed completely because they only

0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:38.000
<v Speaker 3>talked about the hourly wage, and the point was there.

0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:41.120
<v Speaker 3>The long shoremun in trying to stop automation from happening,

0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:42.439
<v Speaker 3>which is bad for all.

0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:44.280
<v Speaker 2>Of us, right right.

0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:48.679
<v Speaker 5>Machines don't pay taxes, said the president of the local

0:23:48.760 --> 0:23:52.919
<v Speaker 5>union in Mobile. Yeah, well, neither do wheelbarrows or iPhones.

0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:55.320
<v Speaker 5>We still use them as tools to make any number

0:23:55.320 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 5>of tasks easier and less time consuming. Harold Daggett, the

0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:00.760
<v Speaker 5>president of the union, is pledged to wage an unceasing

0:24:00.800 --> 0:24:04.080
<v Speaker 5>war on automation, famously makes a million dollars, lives in

0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:06.640
<v Speaker 5>a New Jersey mansion, giant yacht, et cetera. No word

0:24:06.680 --> 0:24:08.760
<v Speaker 5>on whether he insists that he and his family hand

0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:12.159
<v Speaker 5>wash their clothes and dishes or employ a laundress and

0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:15.280
<v Speaker 5>personal dishwasher in order to foreswear.

0:24:14.840 --> 0:24:17.520
<v Speaker 2>Reliance on labor saving devices. Good one.

0:24:18.920 --> 0:24:23.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and it just talks about how technology is constantly changing.

0:24:23.080 --> 0:24:23.800
<v Speaker 2>You have to embrace it.

0:24:23.800 --> 0:24:28.080
<v Speaker 5>We're getting whooped by China, the Netherlands, Singapore, Essentially everybody

0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:31.600
<v Speaker 5>who began automating in the early nineteen nineties, and how

0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:35.760
<v Speaker 5>this is such a choke point on everybody else in

0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:36.560
<v Speaker 5>the economy.

0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:40.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, right, if you're gonna go with the logic of

0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:45.679
<v Speaker 3>you pay a human a lot of money to do

0:24:45.800 --> 0:24:48.760
<v Speaker 3>a job that a computer could do, so the human

0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:52.159
<v Speaker 3>does not need it at all, well, then how do

0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:53.560
<v Speaker 3>you not extend it to just.

0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Making up jobs?

0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:57.680
<v Speaker 3>You have a person outside the building who you know

0:24:57.680 --> 0:24:59.760
<v Speaker 3>writes down the color of people's shoes every day and

0:24:59.800 --> 0:25:00.960
<v Speaker 3>gets eighty dollars an hour.

0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:04.000
<v Speaker 5>Well, except they don't actually have to write down the

0:25:04.040 --> 0:25:05.919
<v Speaker 5>color of the shoes, as I'll get to in a moment.

0:25:06.080 --> 0:25:09.000
<v Speaker 5>But a couple of other perspectives, this time from the

0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:12.200
<v Speaker 5>Wall Street Journal. President Biden had threatened the US Maritime

0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:15.040
<v Speaker 5>Alliance with legal action this week if they didn't give

0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:19.600
<v Speaker 5>in to further union demands. My administration will be monitoring

0:25:19.640 --> 0:25:24.920
<v Speaker 5>for any price couching activity that benefits foreign ocean carriers.

0:25:24.760 --> 0:25:25.679
<v Speaker 2>He said in a statement.

0:25:25.720 --> 0:25:27.800
<v Speaker 5>It was a direct threat to Maersk and other ocean

0:25:27.840 --> 0:25:30.639
<v Speaker 5>carriers if they added a surcharge because of the disruptions

0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:32.400
<v Speaker 5>and expenses from the ILA strike.

0:25:32.800 --> 0:25:33.920
<v Speaker 2>So one myth.

0:25:33.760 --> 0:25:36.120
<v Speaker 5>Exposed by the strike is that unions need more economic

0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:38.480
<v Speaker 5>and political power because they help the working man the

0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:41.560
<v Speaker 5>union behind the strike. The ISLA helps some workers at

0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:45.680
<v Speaker 5>the expense of countless others. Starting with the astounding fact

0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:49.199
<v Speaker 5>that there were fifty thousand or so ISLA strikers but

0:25:49.320 --> 0:25:53.800
<v Speaker 5>only twenty five thousand or so port jobs. Once again,

0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:56.800
<v Speaker 5>there are fifty thousand strikers, there are only twenty five

0:25:56.840 --> 0:25:57.880
<v Speaker 5>thousand jobs.

0:25:57.960 --> 0:25:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's right.

0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:01.200
<v Speaker 5>Only about half of the union members are obliged to

0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:03.719
<v Speaker 5>show up to work each day. The rest sit at

0:26:03.720 --> 0:26:09.200
<v Speaker 5>home collecting container royalties negotiated in previous ILA contracts intended

0:26:09.200 --> 0:26:13.200
<v Speaker 5>to protect against job losses that result from yes innovation.

0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:16.120
<v Speaker 2>So this strike only lasted what four days?

0:26:16.160 --> 0:26:18.840
<v Speaker 3>But how bad a job did the mainstream media do

0:26:18.920 --> 0:26:22.080
<v Speaker 3>of covering this since they really only talked about the

0:26:22.160 --> 0:26:22.959
<v Speaker 3>hourly wage?

0:26:24.119 --> 0:26:27.879
<v Speaker 5>Right, Well, they run everything through the filter of a

0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:33.000
<v Speaker 5>ideology and b the upcoming presidential election. You know, you'd

0:26:33.000 --> 0:26:35.040
<v Speaker 5>be a lot better at your job if you'd stop

0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:39.040
<v Speaker 5>that in particularly all right, but there's more. You should know,

0:26:39.680 --> 0:26:41.720
<v Speaker 5>what a deal for those favorite few who do show

0:26:41.800 --> 0:26:45.119
<v Speaker 5>up to work. The twenty nineteen to twenty report of

0:26:45.160 --> 0:26:47.639
<v Speaker 5>the Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor laid out the

0:26:47.680 --> 0:26:51.520
<v Speaker 5>reality and I quote the absolute control of the International

0:26:51.520 --> 0:26:55.160
<v Speaker 5>Longshoreman's Association over hiring the port for over sixty years

0:26:55.359 --> 0:26:57.280
<v Speaker 5>has not only led to a lack of diversity and

0:26:57.359 --> 0:27:00.560
<v Speaker 5>inclusion in waterfront employment, but also the prepare situation of

0:27:00.640 --> 0:27:04.960
<v Speaker 5>criminality and corruption. Residents near the ports can't get hired

0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:08.080
<v Speaker 5>because the union control quote. Meanwhile, those are who are

0:27:08.119 --> 0:27:12.360
<v Speaker 5>connected to union leadership or organized crime figures are rewarded

0:27:12.400 --> 0:27:16.399
<v Speaker 5>with high paying, low show or no work special compensation packages.

0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Again, this is the.

0:27:17.680 --> 0:27:20.240
<v Speaker 5>Commission of the New York Harbor in a report that

0:27:20.320 --> 0:27:22.000
<v Speaker 5>came out just a few years ago.

0:27:22.640 --> 0:27:23.560
<v Speaker 2>More than five.

0:27:23.359 --> 0:27:26.200
<v Speaker 5>Hundred and ninety individuals continue to receive over one hundred

0:27:26.200 --> 0:27:29.640
<v Speaker 5>and forty seven million dollars in outside salaries not required

0:27:29.640 --> 0:27:32.520
<v Speaker 5>by the industry's collective bargaining agreement for hours they do

0:27:32.560 --> 0:27:34.920
<v Speaker 5>not even have to be here at the port. Such

0:27:34.960 --> 0:27:39.840
<v Speaker 5>positions were overwhelmingly given to folks connected to organized crime

0:27:39.880 --> 0:27:43.760
<v Speaker 5>figures or union leadership, and particularly.

0:27:43.240 --> 0:27:46.960
<v Speaker 3>The history of organized labor is so much of this,

0:27:47.680 --> 0:27:51.520
<v Speaker 3>where the wages are insane, the benefits, no show jobs,

0:27:51.560 --> 0:27:53.600
<v Speaker 3>all that sort of stuff, and you can't get the

0:27:53.680 --> 0:27:57.400
<v Speaker 3>job unless you're connected somehow, you know a family member

0:27:57.800 --> 0:28:00.720
<v Speaker 3>or a friend or whatever. So it's not like it's

0:28:00.760 --> 0:28:03.480
<v Speaker 3>open to everyone to even get these jobs.

0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Right right.

0:28:04.359 --> 0:28:06.160
<v Speaker 5>You know, I left out the fact that Kamala Harris

0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:09.840
<v Speaker 5>also made unmistakable noises about I'm on the side of

0:28:09.840 --> 0:28:11.840
<v Speaker 5>the union and I will hurt you if you don't

0:28:12.040 --> 0:28:13.920
<v Speaker 5>give into their demands, and they more or less split

0:28:13.920 --> 0:28:17.560
<v Speaker 5>the difference between the fifty percent offered pay raise in

0:28:17.600 --> 0:28:20.399
<v Speaker 5>the seventy seven percent that was demanded.

0:28:20.760 --> 0:28:24.639
<v Speaker 2>Do you feel like he long Sherman won this, Oh.

0:28:24.560 --> 0:28:29.639
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I mean they the deal they have now

0:28:29.800 --> 0:28:34.600
<v Speaker 5>is completely mobbed up and based on how much power

0:28:34.800 --> 0:28:37.320
<v Speaker 5>very very few people have over the nation's commerce in

0:28:37.359 --> 0:28:40.160
<v Speaker 5>a way that is utterly unpalatable in a free market.

0:28:40.880 --> 0:28:43.360
<v Speaker 5>And they got a better deal than the one they

0:28:43.360 --> 0:28:44.800
<v Speaker 5>have now, which is ridiculous.

0:28:44.880 --> 0:28:48.800
<v Speaker 3>Our ports are operating at the technology of the fifties.

0:28:49.800 --> 0:28:53.240
<v Speaker 3>Listening to a transportation expert who was on MSNBC yesterday,

0:28:53.600 --> 0:28:56.360
<v Speaker 3>This was an MSNBC expert they had on, said, we're

0:28:56.360 --> 0:28:59.800
<v Speaker 3>working or running our ports basically the technology the fifties.

0:29:00.120 --> 0:29:08.640
<v Speaker 3>We're the slowest of unloading of any docks anywhere in

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:11.240
<v Speaker 3>the world. With your big countries and we're falling further

0:29:11.280 --> 0:29:12.880
<v Speaker 3>behind and this isn't going to fix it.

0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Obviously.

0:29:13.840 --> 0:29:18.360
<v Speaker 5>Now, as a kid, I knew through my teenage hears

0:29:18.400 --> 0:29:21.000
<v Speaker 5>I guess a guy who was mobbed up in Chicago,

0:29:21.080 --> 0:29:23.520
<v Speaker 5>Liand I didn't know it at the time, but in

0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:26.320
<v Speaker 5>retrospect is so obvious. He you know, he had name

0:29:26.360 --> 0:29:30.120
<v Speaker 5>straight out of the Sopranos, and he had a what

0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:33.320
<v Speaker 5>is clear to me now a no show job more

0:29:33.400 --> 0:29:35.440
<v Speaker 5>or less on the waterfront of Chicago. I'll be a

0:29:35.480 --> 0:29:40.280
<v Speaker 5>little vague about it, but I spent a fair amount

0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:44.520
<v Speaker 5>of time around him and his circle and some family

0:29:44.680 --> 0:29:48.960
<v Speaker 5>type relationships, and I could never figure out exactly what

0:29:49.080 --> 0:29:52.000
<v Speaker 5>he did for a living, and he never seemed to

0:29:52.080 --> 0:29:55.560
<v Speaker 5>be at work, and he had plenty of walking around

0:29:55.600 --> 0:29:57.640
<v Speaker 5>money and was a little.

0:29:57.400 --> 0:29:58.520
<v Speaker 2>On the flashy side.

0:29:58.600 --> 0:30:02.520
<v Speaker 5>He was also a hell of a likable guy, very happy,

0:30:02.560 --> 0:30:08.640
<v Speaker 5>go lucky, I mean, a lovable guy. But as a teenager,

0:30:08.760 --> 0:30:11.920
<v Speaker 5>I was mystified at exactly what was going on there,

0:30:12.280 --> 0:30:15.880
<v Speaker 5>And now in retrospect it's so obvious. But yeah, so yeah,

0:30:15.920 --> 0:30:17.680
<v Speaker 5>these guys, they don't they don't have to work most

0:30:17.680 --> 0:30:18.760
<v Speaker 5>of the time. They make a hell of a lot

0:30:18.800 --> 0:30:19.560
<v Speaker 5>of money.

0:30:19.360 --> 0:30:23.600
<v Speaker 3>And and America begs on its knees to please let

0:30:23.720 --> 0:30:25.600
<v Speaker 3>up the rest of us. The other three hundred and

0:30:25.600 --> 0:30:28.040
<v Speaker 3>forty million of us continue to make a living and

0:30:28.120 --> 0:30:32.280
<v Speaker 3>buy products that at amounts, you know, prices we can afford,

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:35.600
<v Speaker 3>and please don't cripple us. Because you said you will

0:30:35.720 --> 0:30:36.480
<v Speaker 3>cripple us.

0:30:36.920 --> 0:30:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I will give you.

0:30:38.800 --> 0:30:41.520
<v Speaker 5>This is not a story of the brave working man

0:30:41.600 --> 0:30:43.080
<v Speaker 5>standing up for his rights people.

0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:46.840
<v Speaker 2>That's why I don't get why all of the media,

0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:49.080
<v Speaker 2>both sides.

0:30:50.320 --> 0:30:54.840
<v Speaker 3>Trump and kamalav Fox and the other channels want to

0:30:54.880 --> 0:30:58.320
<v Speaker 3>be super sympathetic to the hard working man just trying to,

0:30:58.360 --> 0:31:01.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, do his job and his family. Why don't

0:31:01.360 --> 0:31:03.760
<v Speaker 3>they get into the details you just gave us and say, look,

0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:05.840
<v Speaker 3>we're all getting screwed by this. Anybody else got a

0:31:05.880 --> 0:31:07.400
<v Speaker 3>job where you make this kind of money for showing

0:31:07.480 --> 0:31:08.080
<v Speaker 3>up half the time?

0:31:08.200 --> 0:31:08.920
<v Speaker 2>No, you don't.

0:31:09.920 --> 0:31:11.640
<v Speaker 5>There's a lot of money and a lot of votes

0:31:11.680 --> 0:31:16.160
<v Speaker 5>in heaving union support and it is invaluable.

0:31:15.160 --> 0:31:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Apparently, man boy, anybody who thought that this sort of

0:31:18.040 --> 0:31:21.480
<v Speaker 3>thing was of the past, I guess we got a

0:31:22.680 --> 0:31:26.560
<v Speaker 3>lesson this week, didn't we? In particularly in particularly we

0:31:26.640 --> 0:31:30.440
<v Speaker 3>did is right? Seventy six foot yacht. That's gotta be

0:31:30.480 --> 0:31:34.280
<v Speaker 3>a nice yacht. Oh my god, that's a huge boat.

0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:37.960
<v Speaker 3>What's our buddy Dave's boat? Is that like forty five?

0:31:38.000 --> 0:31:38.360
<v Speaker 3>I think?

0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:43.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he lives on it. Yeah, so it's like another

0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:43.880
<v Speaker 5>one of those.

0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Wow, he'll probably text me as soon as we get

0:31:48.680 --> 0:31:48.960
<v Speaker 2>done with this.

0:31:49.800 --> 0:31:50.960
<v Speaker 3>We got a lot more on the way to day

0:31:51.000 --> 0:31:52.920
<v Speaker 3>with us.

0:31:54.840 --> 0:31:56.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh boy, we got something good for next hour.

0:31:56.840 --> 0:32:01.320
<v Speaker 3>Joe Biden just asked about the govern's response to uh,

0:32:01.720 --> 0:32:04.840
<v Speaker 3>the storm of North Carolina. Compare his answer with some

0:32:04.920 --> 0:32:06.880
<v Speaker 3>of the people who live in North Carolina and what

0:32:06.920 --> 0:32:10.240
<v Speaker 3>they're saying. Oh boy, Also today we'll get to that

0:32:10.880 --> 0:32:11.440
<v Speaker 3>hour three.

0:32:12.560 --> 0:32:16.040
<v Speaker 5>North Carolina, of course an American state full of decent people,

0:32:16.080 --> 0:32:18.280
<v Speaker 5>and we care about it for those reasons. But it's

0:32:18.320 --> 0:32:22.000
<v Speaker 5>also a swing state, and all of the undecided voters

0:32:22.080 --> 0:32:25.920
<v Speaker 5>in the swing states are getting the focus of zillions

0:32:25.920 --> 0:32:29.240
<v Speaker 5>of dollars worth of politics and political ads and attention

0:32:29.360 --> 0:32:31.360
<v Speaker 5>and speeches and the rest of it. And I came

0:32:31.400 --> 0:32:34.440
<v Speaker 5>across this bit of humor the other day about the

0:32:34.600 --> 0:32:35.680
<v Speaker 5>undecided voter.

0:32:36.640 --> 0:32:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Nancy, I'm so thirsty. Should I drink water? Guzzle the

0:32:39.240 --> 0:32:41.680
<v Speaker 2>gasoline straight out of the nozzle. I'm so thirsty, and

0:32:41.720 --> 0:32:43.960
<v Speaker 2>I haven't had a liquid in four days. Okay.

0:32:44.000 --> 0:32:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Google says that one ounce of gasoline is fatal to children.

0:32:46.920 --> 0:32:47.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a child.

0:32:47.720 --> 0:32:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Is that something I should take into account?

0:32:49.760 --> 0:32:51.800
<v Speaker 2>The GPAs says that you're left, should.

0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Do that or go off the bridge.

0:32:52.960 --> 0:32:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Don't do that. I did you ever go off the

0:32:54.720 --> 0:32:57.360
<v Speaker 2>breed before? Maybe it's a quicker ring. What's wrong with you?

0:32:59.200 --> 0:33:04.120
<v Speaker 2>My doctor's call? Hello, I'll need more time to think.

0:33:04.320 --> 0:33:04.800
<v Speaker 3>Nay.

0:33:05.280 --> 0:33:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Should I have them give me a massive breast and plant?

0:33:07.600 --> 0:33:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Or should I have them cut off both my arms?

0:33:09.920 --> 0:33:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Is that something they offer? There's no Hi, what can

0:33:14.120 --> 0:33:14.560
<v Speaker 2>I get for you?

0:33:17.280 --> 0:33:19.440
<v Speaker 5>Because she's at a fast food drive and it turns

0:33:19.480 --> 0:33:21.040
<v Speaker 5>with terror to her passenger.

0:33:21.720 --> 0:33:25.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what to order. The undecided voter.

0:33:28.280 --> 0:33:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Now, that's funny that we would have this today, because

0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:34.440
<v Speaker 3>I've always felt that way about the undecided voter, just

0:33:34.480 --> 0:33:36.680
<v Speaker 3>like you must be bone stupid.

0:33:37.640 --> 0:33:40.760
<v Speaker 2>No, I disagree, But I was listened to.

0:33:43.240 --> 0:33:47.600
<v Speaker 3>Uh uh, what do they call focus group thing yesterday

0:33:47.960 --> 0:33:50.680
<v Speaker 3>on a zoom call with a whole bunch of political analysts,

0:33:50.720 --> 0:33:53.160
<v Speaker 3>and they had undecided voters on and that's not what

0:33:53.200 --> 0:33:54.880
<v Speaker 3>they sound like, And like, I.

0:33:54.800 --> 0:33:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Don't quite understand them.

0:33:57.200 --> 0:34:02.800
<v Speaker 3>But they all came off as perfectly capable, reasonable people.

0:34:03.320 --> 0:34:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Just for some reason.

0:34:06.920 --> 0:34:09.000
<v Speaker 3>And like I said, I can't quite figure out the

0:34:09.040 --> 0:34:11.840
<v Speaker 3>psychology of it. But for some reason, they aren't locked

0:34:11.960 --> 0:34:16.080
<v Speaker 3>into an ideology, which sounds like a good thing, but

0:34:16.160 --> 0:34:20.040
<v Speaker 3>they haven't crafted a worldview. They've managed to become like

0:34:20.080 --> 0:34:22.920
<v Speaker 3>a forty year old mom or you know, a fifty

0:34:22.960 --> 0:34:26.160
<v Speaker 3>two year old guy or whatever, it's succeeding in the world,

0:34:26.480 --> 0:34:31.800
<v Speaker 3>smart enough, enough candlepower, but they just haven't crafted a worldview,

0:34:32.280 --> 0:34:34.160
<v Speaker 3>which again escapes me.

0:34:35.040 --> 0:34:36.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's it seems very odd.

0:34:36.760 --> 0:34:39.160
<v Speaker 3>I try to understand it, but it's not they're not

0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:41.960
<v Speaker 3>lacking information that It didn't seem like they were lacking

0:34:42.000 --> 0:34:48.239
<v Speaker 3>information or like I said, intelligence, They just don't have

0:34:48.480 --> 0:34:51.600
<v Speaker 3>a if we had more of this in America would

0:34:51.640 --> 0:34:53.960
<v Speaker 3>be better or less of this in America. Mu, they

0:34:54.000 --> 0:34:57.480
<v Speaker 3>just haven't done that, pardon it for some reason, And

0:34:57.520 --> 0:34:58.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't.

0:34:58.360 --> 0:34:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Know what that is.

0:35:00.880 --> 0:35:04.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I've run into various stripes of it, and

0:35:04.960 --> 0:35:07.080
<v Speaker 5>I could accept. You know, if you're busy with the

0:35:07.160 --> 0:35:09.400
<v Speaker 5>other parts of your life and you're not paying attention

0:35:09.400 --> 0:35:11.719
<v Speaker 5>to politics, and in fact, you don't really pay that

0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:15.320
<v Speaker 5>much attention to what government schemes work in which don't,

0:35:15.440 --> 0:35:18.560
<v Speaker 5>And you've kind of accumulated a worldview, as Jack said,

0:35:18.680 --> 0:35:21.680
<v Speaker 5>or kind of a mental scorecard of Oh, I've heard

0:35:21.719 --> 0:35:22.600
<v Speaker 5>that promise before.

0:35:22.840 --> 0:35:25.600
<v Speaker 2>It seems very foreign to me. But obviously those people exist.

0:35:25.680 --> 0:35:28.239
<v Speaker 3>There wasn't one of them. And I've been calling on

0:35:28.440 --> 0:35:32.200
<v Speaker 3>decided voters morons for years. How do you feel now

0:35:32.280 --> 0:35:34.640
<v Speaker 3>you believe there wasn't one of them that I would

0:35:34.640 --> 0:35:39.160
<v Speaker 3>have described as obviously dumb or even I wouldn't even

0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:41.839
<v Speaker 3>have called them low information. They seemed like they had

0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:47.360
<v Speaker 3>plenty of information. They they're just weighing everything without like

0:35:47.880 --> 0:35:51.239
<v Speaker 3>again a framework of the past or anything for some

0:35:51.400 --> 0:35:53.000
<v Speaker 3>reason right there.

0:35:53.040 --> 0:35:55.759
<v Speaker 5>And we've discussed this in a variety of contexts in

0:35:55.800 --> 0:36:00.279
<v Speaker 5>recent months especially, but there's a disconnect between elections and

0:36:00.560 --> 0:36:04.280
<v Speaker 5>policy and results in people's minds.

0:36:04.320 --> 0:36:07.399
<v Speaker 3>They don't connect those things. They act as if they're independent.

0:36:07.760 --> 0:36:10.320
<v Speaker 3>You're right, that is what it is. They don't connect

0:36:10.400 --> 0:36:14.200
<v Speaker 3>the policy to results, and so it's just wide open

0:36:14.239 --> 0:36:16.600
<v Speaker 3>to them who they and they still haven't made up

0:36:16.600 --> 0:36:16.879
<v Speaker 3>their mind.

0:36:16.880 --> 0:36:19.759
<v Speaker 2>They need to hear more. What's more likable, what

0:36:22.360 --> 0:36:23.520
